They have prepared him so well, emotionally and education wise. We were a relocation and the scottsdale school quickly became our support system and new family. They were so warm and welcoming. Each teacher made a point to know us and our children. The owner is incredible, I don't think you will come across another preschool owner who is so invested. The education, parent involvement, parties, concerts, art shows, the list goes on. It's outstanding all around. I have a little who is currently there currently, and when he graduates it will be a very hard day for us as we feel this school to be so special. I have had many friends transfer due to inadequacies at other schools and they are all so impressed and wished they moved sooner.

Not only that, is it even legal to hold a child over a parents wishes? I should be able to pick up my child at any time without being treated like crap. Also the front desk receptionist was extremely rude and argumentative. Are they going to reimburse me for the cancellation fee I am now incurring at her drs office? I'm appalled!

Like always there is a pros and cons to the school. There are great teachers who actually care…read moreabout their students and work with them if they have a need to help better understand the curriculum. Teachers like Ms.Anderson, Ms. Katz, Mr. Cunningham, Mr. Tarter, Mr. T, and Ms. Esper, they are the best teachers that I have seen by far since 2019. The biggest issue in the school is the cliche got money type of attitude. This is what tends to be detrimental to the kids or the experience at the school. However they do have some programs that actually show that they do care about the community and their students. The biggest complaint I've had at the school by far has been the parking lot. I have seen multiple accidents in the parking lot because parents are not paying attention when pulling out of parking spaces or trying to get out of the parking lot in general. The school has had it observed several times and it's the best flow that they have had in the district but they're still issues that need to be addressed. It does help that they have officers who are here throughout the day during that time to actually direct the traffic as well as the school resource officers.

I enrolled in Rancho Solano for my junior year, and let's just say; it wasn't exactly a caring and…read morefriendly environment. I went to Rancho thinking I would get one of the best educations ever, many reviews (i'm assuming are either payed reviews or the extremely rich parents who's kids lied to them about enjoying it) seemed amazing. However, when I arrived I found all the kids my age to be the most stuck up, snobby, rich kids I had ever met. So extremely out of touch, dimwitted, racist, and tone deaf. I was sitting in study hall when I overheard a group of people gossiping about a senior the previous year who cheated on some very hard/important finals and got caught. The parents allegedly paid the principal an additional 25k (which is the same amount as tuition) to stay quiet about it and let him pass. However, that could easily be untrue and just a rumor (wouldn't be surprised with the amount of liars enrolled). I was in Integrated 2 math class. The absolute worst math teacher EVER had. I was more of a quiet kid, I wanted to keep to myself and not talk to any of the out of touch students there. She would often call me out during break asking why I wasn't with my friends, knowing I had pretty much none (by choice). She was more focused on being a "tough"/"strict"/"intimidating" teacher than a good teacher. I learnt more about her unnecessary classroom rules than about what I needed to pass the class. On the midterm final, I spent 2 weeks studying everything we had learnt throughout the year. We weren't made aware until the week of that we weren't allowed calculators on the test, although we had practiced with calculators the whole year. The final felt like a whole new class, for a moment I thought I was at the wrong final exam when I saw what was on it. The housekeeping of this school is very poorly looked after. It's disgusting, specifically the bathrooms. I can only speak for the girls bathroom, there was always toilets that hadn't been bothered to be flushed. The janitors do not do a good job to clean it up, there would be the same unflushed mess in the same toilets for a week straight. More importantly maybe the adults should teach these kids how to flush a toilet as their maids have been doing it all their lives. I will be calling out another teacher who I thankfully did not have but I did witness doing some strange things to a sophomore girl. We were doing presentations in class and this teacher came in to watch a group of girls who obviously he gets along with and has for a class. I always think it's a little strange whenever teachers and students have oddly close or even flirty relationships with one another. I didn't think too much of it until out of nowhere one of the girls screams bursting out of laughter. This 35+ man was tickling a 15 year old girls waist. Absolutely disgusting and predatory behavior. I won't be saying names but all I know is that he teaches science classes. They always emphasized how strict their rules were about dress code. About how skirts should be 4 inches from the middle of the knee, most girls were walking around with their underwear visible and nobody batted an eye. This place does not deserve to be ranked #2 in Arizona's private schools. Disgusting, sloppy, shady, and overall a complete joke.

I also heard positive feedback even from people who had friends whose children attended here. So we chose Cheyenne because of its great reputation for curriculum, teacher-led learning & traditional model and we were thrilled to get in! My daughter's experience at Cheyenne has been wonderful. Her teacher is excellent! My daughter's handwriting is perfect and she's reading and writing complete sentences. She's understanding phonograms and is excited to go to school every day. The school is organized well. The teachers are kind & warm. It is easy to get prompt replies from staff when communicating. I LOVE the uniforms. No concern about who's wear what brand etc. We have met some wonderful parents and have really like that parents are involved in their children's education at Cheyenne. We are big fans of Cheyenne and are thrilled that our daughter can go through middle school as well! Go Roadrunner's!

From the moment we joined the school community, we could see why so many families speak so highly of it. The staff is truly wonderful and many of them have been there for years, which says a lot about the environment and leadership. Everyone we've interacted with has been personable, responsive, and genuinely happy to be there. The PTO also goes above and beyond to bring joy and support to both the students and the teachers, which creates such a positive atmosphere on campus. There are so many incredible people at the school. Molly has been wonderful, and my daughter absolutely adores her kindergarten teacher, Miss Hayes. Miss Quandt, the art teacher, is also so inspiring, my daughter comes home excited to talk about what she's learning in art. And the Principal Miss Baca is truly exceptional. She's a fantastic communicator, wonderful with both parents and kids, and you can tell she deeply cares about the students and the community. We feel very lucky to have her leading the school. I also appreciate that the kids wear uniforms and are taught to treat each other with dignity and respect. The structure at the school helps children understand expectations and take pride in doing their best. The red and yellow light discipline system gives clear guidance about behavior, and it's evident that the students understand it and respond positively to that structure. Overall, we have been incredibly happy with our experience. It's a supportive, structured, and caring environment where kids can truly thrive. We are so excited for both of our children to be part of this wonderful school community in the years ahead.

My daughter was constantly bullied by her teacher and when I approached the principal | was blown off. The pure lack of biblical understanding is apparent when you attend there. I had to spend the last year helping my daughter heal from the hurtful way she was treated. I expected more from a school that claims to be Christian but this is just another high priced private school that has nothing to do with helping your child to learn more about Christ. Very disappointed to say the least.

The Christ-centered education and intentional discipleship have had a profound impact on our children, not only in their learning but in their faith. They come home excited about what they're learning and growing deeper in their walk with God.

The kids are mean and lye. My kindergartener has started lying and saying mean things on a daily basis.
